In the spirit of creativity and invention, we're wondering what you, our audience thinks is the world's greatest invention! Let us know in the forum, for your chance to win a huge box of luxurious Swiss chocolate from one of Lausanne, Switzerland's finest hand-crafted luxury chocolate makers, Blondel chocolate. Feel free to be creative, and add a picture or YouTube video to convince us that your favorite invention is definitely the best. And if any of you are inventors yourselves, the forum's a great place to show us what you're made of!

I'm tempted to go with something like the printing press or the internet, but I think I'll go with something a little different and say "The Scientific Method". Sure, it's not a physical invention, but I do think it is the greatest thing mankind has managed to come up with.

The question is very general so I think it is impossible to argue with Chroino's answer. Every great invention that I can think of, is backed from one of greater importance that ultimate leads to "the scientific method" of logic and mathematics. It is the invention (if we can stretch the term) that makes all inventions (and the inventing process) possible.

So this post is not a participation to the contest because Chroino gave the ultimate answer

We should not forget to honor three great Swiss inventors: Cailler, Lindt and Peter.Without their great, sweet inventions (smoothing, conching and adding condensed milk) we would not be able to win a box of chocolate of such quality in a robot podcast contest!
